Why no "connect when needed" option (data)

[Chrisp7]

As above, shouldnt this be a feature of Android. The reason all Android phones have poor battery life is as a result of that. Couldnt someone make an app that disconnects the data connection when not being used?

Im really not sure why Android does have an option of sync regularity too? Perhaps an app idea if possible?

that would be because this is a cloud device, hence it already connects "when needed" unfortunately it needs connection all the time.

I would think a choice in sync settings would be helpful in the future.
